Natural Born Killer

It was pretty hot here in Atlanta this weekend so I pretty much stuck to places that had the AC going. I spent the entire weekend shopping, which wasn't as bad as it might sound. I bought some clothes for Erica's wedding, a washer and dryer, and a futon frame. I also bought some Raspberry syrup so I can make shaved ice just like I had in Japan. Raspberry was the only fruit flavor I could find but so far it's been really refreshing. I need to pick up melon, tarro, or banana flavoring for the true Japanese experience though.

Anyway I forgot to mention an interesting anecdote, that Dan can corroborate. About a month ago when my car caught on fire, I ended up just junking it in Nashville at a auto salvage place that was actually closed for the day. I called the salvage place the next day and they agreed to take the car off my hands. Apparently later that day there was a news report of a murder a couple of blocks away from the salvage place. And the killer got away in a mid 90s white 4 door sedan. The kid running the salvage yard who just accepted custody of a very similar car called the police and had them check out my car for DNA and fingerprints. They must have a pretty good CSI team in Nashville, because they quickly ruled out my car as a suspect.

Anyway I thought it was interesting...
